Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Titans went off the board in a big way for Will Sheppard, 169 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Neal. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 1st overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bradyn Swinson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Nothing to complain about; Dylan Fairchild went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at No. 118. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Will Sheppard
A wild overpay on Will Sheppard in slot 140, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in pick No. 167 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Somehow Devin Neal was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
